❁❁❁❁

After a brief exchange of blows, I suggested, "Tsubaki-san, why don't we both use our full power and settle this quickly?"

Tsubaki sighed, then activated her Sacred Gear, warning me, "Don't underestimate me, I'm going to use my trump card. So, please be careful."

"Mirror Alice!"

As soon as she spoke, several monstrous creatures appeared around us.

The Shinra Clan was one of the Five Principal Clans of Exorcists in Japan.

Tsubaki had always been treated as an outcast due to her unique constitution that allowed her to summon these creatures through mirrors using her Sacred Gear, [Mirror Alice].

Later, she was taken in by Sona and became her Queen, holding the same rank as Akeno.

Tsubaki controlled the creatures, surrounding me as they launched their attacks, while she searched for an opening, planning to deliver a decisive blow.

But I saw through her plan immediately.

Seeing the creatures closing in, I had an idea. I suddenly sheathed [Zangetsu] and activated my [Rinnegan]. It was time to end this.

"Boom!"

Empowered by the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit], blue lightning erupted from my body, turning the entire backyard into a sea of electricity.

Then, a giant, terrifying skeletal figure slowly materialized before everyone's eyes. It was the incomplete form of [Susanoo].

I didn't use the Perfect form, fearing it would shatter the barrier around us.

The Complete, Perfect Susanoo was easily over two-hundred-meters-tall, something that would definitely cause a panic in the town.

Even so, the Student Council members were utterly stunned by the sight.

Facing the skeletal [Susanoo] directly, Tsubaki's expression froze. The overwhelming pressure was unbelievable.

'Is this Kyoya-kun's true power?'

Everyone couldn't help but wonder.

Even though they were stunned, I didn't stop. I controlled [Susanoo], summoning two giant blades.

In that instant, intense lightning gathered on the blades.

Then, I tilted my head slightly, narrowed my eyes, and warned, "Be careful, Tsubaki-san. This could really hurt."

With that, I controlled [Susanoo], raising its two blades high, channeling my magic power into them, and slashed diagonally downwards!

Tsubaki didn't move, determined to use her Sacred Gear to withstand the impact, while simultaneously commanding the creatures to block my attack, before counter-attacking.

Tsubaki's plan was sound, however...

Slash!

The creatures, upon contact with [Susanoo's] blades, were instantly sliced in two. There wasn't even a sound of impact, just the sound of flesh being cut.

Tsubaki's pupils contracted. She was blasted back by the powerful shockwave, sliding over a dozen meters before finally stopping.

"!!!"

"The creatures I summoned with my Sacred Gear were destroyed so easily!"

Just as she was reeling from the shock, I didn't give her a chance to recover. I swung my blades again.

Boom!

The powerful shockwave slammed into Tsubaki's Mirror Alice.

Even though she reacted, Tsubaki was no match for Susanoo's instantaneous attack. She was sent flying!

Bang!

Her body crashed heavily against the barrier, causing the entire structure to shatter with a resounding crash.

When the dust settled, everyone was horrified to discover that the magically reinforced walls inside the barrier were completely destroyed by Susanoo's attack.

I had actually held back, as I knew about Mirror Alice's ability. When the mirror was broken, it reflected the damage back at the attacker, doubled. But of course, I wasn't worried about that level of damage.

That's why I had held back at the last moment. Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been Tsubaki being blown away. Her Sacred Gear, Mirror Alice, would have shattered into pieces.

Feeling the pain in her chest, Tsubaki stared at me in disbelief.

"So this is your true trump card..."

I deactivated [Susanoo] and, after thinking for a moment, replied, "Well, Kind of.."

'Kind of? Does that mean he still has more trump cards?' Thinking of this, Tsubaki could only smile wryly.

"I lost. In terms of overall ability and swordsmanship, Kyoya-kun, you're far stronger than I imagined. I concede defeat wholeheartedly."

....

I simply smiled and quickly walked over to her, helping her up. Although I knew Tsubaki wouldn't mind that I'd gone a bit hard on her, it was still important to show some courtesy.

As I helped her up and channeled some magic power into her to ease her pain, Tsubaki blushed slightly, her body tensing.

Just then, the system notification rang out.

[Ding! Task completed! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Red Grade sign-in gift bag.]

The other Student Council members were completely stunned. They couldn't believe that their Tsubaki had admitted defeat.

"Hey, can someone please slap me? I think I'm hallucinating!"

"Not only is his swordsmanship incredible, but he also has all these other abilities. And he still seems so relaxed, like it was nothing."

"This isn't a fight at all... It's a complete beatdown... Is Kyoya-kun really just a human?"

....

Even the usually calm Sona found it difficult to maintain her composure.

After all, as her "Queen," Tsubaki has the power of a Lower High-class and wielded the [Sacred Gear: Mirror Alice]. Yet, she had been defeated so quickly, even with me holding back.

Sona had never even considered the possibility of Tsubaki losing!

After helping Tsubaki, Sona hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "I have to ask, Kyoya-kun, why did you hold back during your last attack on Tsubaki's Sacred Gear? Did you know about Mirror Alice's ability, or were you afraid of hurting Tsubaki?"

Hearing Sona's question, Tsubaki and the other girls also looked at me curiously, waiting for my answer.

Of course I knew about it, being a transmigrator and all. But I still thought for a moment before explaining.

"A bit of both, I guess. I have the ability to briefly foresee the future, even when facing opponents slightly stronger than me. I can glimpse fragments of what's to come."

"And of course, even though Mirror Alice would have reflected the damage back at me, doubled, it wouldn't have been a problem for me. But Tsubaki-san might have been seriously injured, so I held back to avoid that."
